The information capacity of DNA double-crossover (DX) tiles was successfully increased beyond a binary representation to higher base representations. By controlling the length and the position of DNA hairpins on the DX tile, ternary and senary (base-3 and base-6) digit representations were realized and verified by atomic force microscopy. Also, normal mode analysis was carried out to study the mechanical characteristics of each structure.

Article Synopsis
- Redox nanozymes, specifically Cu-Trp and Cu-Arg, were developed to mimic ascorbic acid oxidase, allowing for the oxidation of ascorbic acid to dehydroascorbic acid, which is crucial for detecting pollutants like aromatic amines.
- The resulting DHAA interacts with various derivatives of -phenylenediamine to form a fluorescent Schiff base, enabling the construction of a visual sensor array that can distinguish multiple aromatic amines at concentrations as low as 10 μM.
- This innovative method was tested successfully on mixtures and unknown samples in environmental waters, demonstrating its effectiveness for large-scale screening of aromatic amines.
The Cocktail Effects on the Acute Cytotoxicity of Pesticides and Pharmaceuticals Frequently Detected in the Environment.

Xenobiotics never appear as single, isolated substances in the environment but instead as multi-component mixtures. However, our understanding of the ecotoxicology of mixtures is far from sufficient. In this study, three active pharmaceutical ingredients (carbamazepine, diclofenac, and ibuprofen) and three pesticides (S-metolachlor, terbuthylazine, and tebuconazole) from the most frequently detected emerging micropollutants were examined for their acute cytotoxicity, both individually and in combination, by bioluminescence inhibition in (NRRL B-11177).

Human cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) is a major drug-metabolizing enzyme that shows extreme substrate promiscuity. Moreover, its large and malleable active site can simultaneously accommodate several substrate molecules of the same or different nature, which may lead to cooperative binding and allosteric behavior. Due to difficulty of crystallization of CYP3A4-substrate complexes, it remains unknown how multiple substrates can arrange in the active site.

Human cell membranes consist of various lipids that are essential for their structure and function. It typically comprises phosphatidylcholine (POPC), phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE), phosphatidylserine (POPS), sphingomyelin (PSM), and cholesterol (CHL). Several experimental and computational techniques have been employed to characterize the composition of human cell membranes, however, CHL enriched membrane is still not clearly understood through these techniques.

Relative role of enthalpy and entropy in the stabilization of senary FCC Al-Co-Cr-Fe-Ni-Mn high entropy alloys was investigated via a high throughput combinatorial solid-to-solid diffusion couple approach. Many off-equiatomic compositions of FCC AlCoCrFeNiMn were generated by the diffusing Al and Ni in equiatomic CoCrFeNiMn alloy, i.e.
